The future of Animation at Mikros ?

Une conversation avec Julien Meesters (DG) et Sandrine Nguyen (IP et séries).

Hello !

I’m beyond excited to share this episode with you!

I had the privilege of speaking with Julien Meesters and Sandrine Nguyen from Mikros Animation, a true French gem in the animation industry that the United States envies us for! Now part of Technicolor — one of the oldest companies in the imagery industry— Mikros has evolved into a leader in both artistic excellence and innovation.

Here’s a glimpse of what we covered:

• Mikros Animation’s impressive portfolio, featuring feature films like Orion and The Dark for DreamWorks, PAW Patrol  for Spin Master, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Tiger’s Apprentice for Paramount, Thelma the Unicorn for Netflix, The Little Prince with ON Entertainment, and The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run for Paramount.

• A series lineup including Kung Fu Panda, Star Trek: Prodigy, The Croods, and Boss Baby.

• They co-own some incredible IPs, including Alvinnn!!! and the Chipmunks, Gus, The Itsy Bitsy Knight, and Sonic Boom — proving they’re not just a service provider, but key players in the creation and ownership of beloved properties.

• We dove into how Mikros Animation maintains a balance between artistic brilliance and business strategy, producing groundbreaking work while staying true to their creative roots.

• Their unique approach to cultural adaptation makes every project distinct, from character design to emotional resonance.

This conversation is packed with insights on how Mikros is shaping the future of animation, both in terms of artistry and business.
